Hi everyone, that it’s like to find this French female basketball team that made us vibrate so much at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games! So remember this epic final against the supposed untouchable team USA, which trembled like never before our Blue (67-66), and which should even have to fight in prolongation if Gabby Williams measured 36. In short, we get lost a little there … We are therefore on the competition according to our Olympic silver media, namely the Eurobasket, Gold, nothing but gold!
And for good reason, since the coronations of 2001 and 2009, the Blue has always missed the last step in this competition, with seven consecutive podiums (five lost finals and two bronze medals) without the supreme consecration. Yes, there are major absences due to the WNBA season which takes place at the same time, namely the two leaders Gabby Williams and Marine Johannès, as well as the young talents Dominique Malonga and Carla Leite, or even the holder Marine Fauxoux (injured in the knee just before the Euro).
But like a Salaün Janelle having taken a sacred dimension since the games (4th best scorer of the euro with 18 points on average at 69 % in shots and 61 % at three points!), This team has resources. And after a hung start to Turkey (71-69), she rolled on her following three opponents (44 points apart on average !!!!). There, we enter on the other hand in strong with Spain opposite, while perhaps waiting for the winner of Belgium-Italy for the final on Sunday. But everything in its time …
